KK6RBI here east of Dallas, Tx. Mostly a mobile user don't really mess with radios too much at the house though I do have a small shack setup in the corner of my garage. It's kind of the catch all electronics table. Mostly use Chinese radios anymore. I do have a Yeasu FT90R that I can't let go of that is currently in my solar generator box to use as a camp radio.

If you are on Facebook feel free to join the Texas Off Road Amateur Radio group, we (Oklahoma and Texas groups) have a camp trip the first weekend of May in southern Oklahoma. Just a get together to set up portable radios, try new antennas, etc. Hoping to do something for Field day next year as well if all goes well.

That sounds great. I'm not a facebooker but I'll get my wife to sign up. She's my facebook interpreter.

LOL. Actually my array is in the same spots DPS drilled the holes in. My daily array looks a little different from my travel array as well.Aww they are so cute when they are just sprouting, careful they will grow and multiply.

K6GBW from SoCal checking in. I'm in the process of installing a UHF radio in my 92 YJ. Going to go with a PCTel Phantom antenna on the cowling to keep it low profile. Most likely will run a dedicated GMRS unit and use HH for Ham as well as carry a QRP HF set.
KN6DZJ checking in. New Ham here. So far I only have a Anytone 878, and I am planning on putting a Yaesu FTM-400DR in my Jeep. So far its fun listening, but haven't worked up the nerve to check into any nets yet.

Mic fright is pretty common. If any local clubs have a weekly net try checking into it. They generally just want to know your call sign, name, and location. If it's a round table net they go down the list of check ins and give you a chance to say something. If it's an info net, they take your info and then put out any pertinent info for the week.
We have an Friday night Echolink net here. If you have an Echolink or Allstar enabled repeater in your area you can use it to check in, or you may use the Echolink app to check in and while the app isn't real radio per se it may help you work through the mic fright.

I am going to try and join the NET for sure!! I will be at work (I'm a Firefighter/paramedic so I should be able to get on pending anyone calling 911 lol) I have never used an echolink repeater before though and I am not exactly sure how to use it to get on. According to Repeaterbook I have a 2m echolink repeater nearby. Do I just use the repeater as normal??
Endurance II
You can get a hold of the repeater owner and find out what codes or tones are needed to access the echolink system on the repeater. The node number is in the meet up info (sorry don't have it handy). You can also download the app for phone or computer and set it up. It usually takes about 15 min to get everything working so don't wait till last min if you go that route. Look forward to hearing you on the NET tomorrow night. Brent
